MinDu-1:
Promythion: It happens any day that women are pulling their husband’s leg. A peasant’s daughter who loves a handsome young man is forced to marry a peasant. At the wedding dance she promises her sad lover the favors of her body in the wedding night. When the married couple goes to bed the husband is full of wine and allows it that his wife gets up again to drink water downstairs. There the lover is waiting and now she quenches her love thirst while her unaware husband encourages her with his calls.
